Tauri v2 Development Skill

Build cross-platform desktop and mobile apps with web frontends and Rust backends using Tauri v2.

Core Principles

• Architecture: Use Rust for the backend (performance, native APIs) and any web framework for the frontend (UI, routing).
• Communication: Use Tauri's IPC (invoke, events, channels) to bridge the Rust backend and the web frontend.
• Security-First: Everything is denied by default. Explicitly configure permissions in src-tauri/capabilities/ to allow frontend access to backend commands and plugins.
• Cross-Platform: Write once, compile to Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Use lib.rs for shared logic.

Quick Setup Checklist

Before making changes to a Tauri project, verify:

• src-tauri/tauri.conf.json has build.devUrl and build.frontendDist configured.
• src-tauri/capabilities/default.json exists and includes necessary permissions.
• All custom Rust commands are registered in tauri::generate_handler![] within lib.rs or main.rs.
• lib.rs contains shared code, essential for mobile builds.
